Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for The Boys season 4 finale!

Summary Claudia Doumit has opened up about Victoria Neuman's death in The Boys season 4, honored to have a gory end for her character.

Doumit experienced being covered in fake blood, unfazed by the gruesome scenes even though she was the one being killed off this time.

It makes for a tragic ending, as Zoe may follow in Victoria's footsteps. It also teases how grim The Boys season 5 could be.

A star on The Boys has addressed their major character death during the season 4 finale, explaining what it was like and what their demise means for the show moving forward. In The Boys season 4 finale, the group is about to begin working with Victoria Neuman to help take down Homelander and keep her safe from his grasp. However, Butcher walks in, his heart hardened after Ryan accidentally killed Grace. Using new tentacle-like powers, he grabs Victoria and kills her, ripping her to shreds in the process.

Speaking with Variety about Victoria's death in The Boys season 4 finale, Claudia Doumit explained how honored she was to get such a gory end to her character. The actor explained what it was like filming the sequence, while also revealing what it means for her daughter, Zoe, as the series continues. Check out what Doumit had to say below:

It was really shocking, but it was also really beautiful, and so well done. And most of all, it was a great death — that’s an honor in and of itself. I’m really happy to got a fun, twisted death, which is just such a great rite of passage for characters on this show. So I was really happy about it, which sounds like such an insane thing to say about being split in half. I don’t know if I was in denial or hadn’t processed it yet, but it just felt like another day at work. I’m not new to being drenched in fake blood, or pretending that there’s some gruesome thing happening in front of me on the show. The only difference that day was that it was my fake blood and the gruesome thing happened to me. It is truly, deeply such a heartbreaking moment, because all Victoria wants for her daughter is for her to have a life that was nothing like hers growing up. And Zoe, ultimately, ends up in the same place as her mother. It’s really tragic that she’s got these powers that were loosed upon her, she doesn’t have a parent, and she’s most likely going to end up in Red River, the same place her mom was in. It’s a really tragic, full circle ending to that story. I hope that there is some for Zoe at the end of the tunnel. She’s been through so much and she’s just got braces, so life hard enough for her as a teenager. But I don’t know what will happen there. It’s actually really funny, because from the moment I joined this show, I knew that she was going to die — not because I knew for sure, but I knew what show I was coming on to. I honestly thought it would be sooner. I would go into every season anticipating that Neuman would die. So I was pleasantly surprised, and I feel lucky, that I got to walk around in Neuman’s pantsuits and Louboutins for as long as I did.

More to come...
